Coffee and Aging: What You Should Know!
The effects of our lifestyle habits have an impact on how rapidly we age and how healthy we are as our bodies mature from youth to our senior years. At the threshold of our forties and fifties, many of us find we can no longer tolerate coffee and caffeine like we could when we were young. Many people who are suffering from or at risk for developing chronic diseases will find that reducing coffee drinking can improve and reduce the severity of symptoms. Here are the top 5 reasons why kicking the caffeine habit can keep us looking and feeling younger longer.
- Caffeine and Coffee Contribute to Chronic Stress
When stress hormones like cortisol are chronically elevated, they dramatically accelerate the aging process and compromise the nervous system. Caffeine stimulates the production of cortisol and increases our susceptibility to stress. Decaf coffee also stimulates the nervous system and increases stress showing that other compounds in coffee besides caffeine have these effects. Decreasing coffee consumption can help us reduce the effects of stress and slow down the aging process.
- Caffeine and Coffee Increase Risk of Heart Disease
Numerous studies show that coffee, both regular and decaffeinated, raise the risk for heart disease by increasing blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rhythm irregularities and homocysteine levels. Additionally, recent research shows over half the population studied has a gene that slows the metabolism of caffeine. The risk of heart attack is greatly increased when people who metabolize caffeine slowly drink 2 or more cups of coffee a day. Caffeine and coffee have also been demonstrated to cause stiffness in the blood vessels, a factor involved in the development of arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Protect your heart and reduce your chances for heart disease as you age by quitting coffee.
- Coffee and Caffeine Decrease Mineral Absorption
Coffee consumption both reduces absorption and increases excretion of a number of essential minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Our ability to absorb these minerals is further reduced as we age. Studies show that high caffeine or coffee consumption is associated with lower bone density and higher rates of bone loss, which increases the risk for developing osteopenia and osteoporosis as we age. Metabolic acidity can develop from the consumption of acidic foods, like both regular and decaf coffee, which further depletes our mineral reserves in our bones and our teeth. Help your body retain minerals by reducing caffeine in your diet and increasing your intake of inulin, a soluble fiber found in foods like chicory, garlic and wheat, that improves the body’s ability to absorb minerals.
- Caffeine Increases Risk of Kidney Stones
The incidence of developing kidney stones increases as people age. Caffeine stimulates urine calcium excretion that can increase the risk of forming calcium stones in people susceptible to stone formation. Low magnesium in postmenopausal women has been shown to be a risk factor for developing kidney stones, and caffeine and coffee consumption interferes with magnesium absorption. Decrease your risk of developing kidney stones as you age by quitting coffee today.
- Coffee and Caffeine Negatively Affect Memory, Cognition and Mood
Caffeine can decrease the blood flow to your brain by up to 30%! Caffeine interferes with the release of calcium in the hippocampus, affecting this important physiological process in the creation of memory. High caffeine intake reduces the speed of processing conflicting information and decreases performance on verbal reasoning tests. Caffeine consumption is also associated with depression and increased anxiety. Protect your memory as you age and improve your outlook on life by kicking the caffeine habit!
